In this study, a miniature thin film-patterned heater was fabricated on a silicon substrate using semiconductor process technology and the thermal characteristics of the applied voltage, power, and temperature of the thin film heater were measured and analyzed. The temperature of the thin film pattern heater increased with increasing power, but the temperature increase rate was gradual at high power intervals. The characteristics of the high temperature section of the platinum thin film-patterned heater were analyzed using the heat resistance model under atmospheric and vacuum conditions. The thermal resistance measured in a vacuum atmosphere was 0.79 [K/mW] higher than the heat resistance value 0.69 [K/mW] in air. The temperature of the thin film pattern heater can be maintained at a low power in a vacuum rather than in air, and these results are expected to be utilized in the structural design of a thin film-patterned heater element.

In this study, the cone tip resistances of cemented sand are measured by performing a series of miniature cone penetration tests in large calibration chamber, and the relations with constrained modulus, unconfined compressive strength, and shear strength of cemented sand are suggested. Experimental results show that both the cone tip resistance and constrained modulus of sand increase with increasing cementation effect as well as relative density and confining stress. However, it is observed that the relative density and confining stress have more significant influence on cone tip resistance than constrained modulus of cemented sand. Since the cone penetration into the ground induces the damage of cementation, the cone tip resistance can't properly reflect the cementation effect of sand. An analysis based on the constrained modulus shows that the measured cone tip resistance underestimates the deformation modulus of cemented sand by about $70{\sim}85%$. In addition, this study establishes various relationships among the above soil properties from the regression analysis.

In this study, the in-situ model test has been conducted to estimate and analyze consolidation behavior of the ground by using the miniature test that reconstructs economically geotechnical behavior of in-situ full scale structure. To analyze the relation of effective stress, void ratio and coefficient of permeability at the self-weight consolidation stage, the low stress seepage consolidation test has been conducted and the involution function of constitutive equation had been obtained from the result of the curve fitted seepage consolidation test. As a result of the numerical analysis that had been conducted on the representative section using a constitute equation, final settlement was similar to those of self-weight consolidation of the centrifugal model test. But it was more or less smaller. It seems that these trends are caused by the difference between estimated values.

Human tropic Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERVs) are the major concern in zoonosis for xenotransplantation because PERVs cannot be eliminated by specific pathogen-free breeding. Recently, a PERV A/C recombinant with PERV-C bearing PERV-A gp70 showed a higher infectivity (approximately 500-fold) to human cells than PERV-A. Additionally, the chance of recombination between PERVs and HERVs is frequently stated as another risk of xenografting. Overcoming zoonotic barriers in xenotransplantation is more complicated by recombination. To achieve successful xenotransplantation, studies on the recombination in PERVs are important. Here, we cloned and sequenced proviral PERV env sequences from pig gDNAs to analyze natural recombination. The envelope is the most important element in retroviruses as a pivotal determinant of host tropisms. As a result, a total of 164 PERV envelope genes were cloned from pigs (four conventional pigs and two miniature pigs). Distribution analysis and recombination analysis of PERVs were performed. Among them, five A/B recombinant clones were identified. Based on our analysis, we determined the minimum natural recombination frequency among PERVs to be 3%. Although a functional recombinant envelope clone was not found, our data evidently show that the recombination event among PERVs may occur naturally in pigs with a rather high possibility.

Serial ultrasonographic examinations were daily performed from 15 days after ovulation until parturition to determine the growth curve of gestational structures in pregnant Maltese, Yorkshire terrier, Shih-tzu, and Miniature Schnauzer bitches, respectively. Gestational age was timed from the day of ovulation (day 0), which was estimated to occur when plasma progesterone concentration was first increased above 4.0 ng/ml. The inner chorionic cavity diameter were significantly and linearly relative to gestational age especially days 20 to 40, and the fetal head diameter were significantly and linearly relative to gestational age especial1y day 40 to parturition. These results indicate that inner chorionic cavity diameter were the most accurate for estimating gestational age before day 38 of gestation and the fetal head diameter were after day 38 of gestation.

This study aimed at investigating whether a porcine follicular fluid (pFF) supplementation positively affects the characteristics of donor cells and the developmental competence of porcine cloned embryos. Ear fibroblast cells (donor cell) from an Massachusetts General Hospital miniature pig were cultured in different culture methods: (1) Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM)+10% FBS (Control); (2) DMEM+0.5% FBS (SS); and (3) DMEM+10% FBS+10% pFF (pFF) for 72 h. In each conditioned medium, the concentrations of 4 amino acids (Thr, Glu, Pro, and Val) in the pFF group were significantly different from those in the control group (p<0.05 or p<0.01). The proliferation of the cells cultured in the SS group was significantly lower than that of the other treatment groups (p<0.01). The population of apoptotic and necrotic cells in the SS group was significantly higher than that of either the control or the pFF group (p<0.01). The number of embryos that cleaved (p<0.05) and developed into blastocysts (p<0.01) in the SS group was significantly lower than that of either the control or the pFF group. Compared to other groups, the blastocysts produced from the donor cells in the pFF group had higher total cells and lower apoptotic cells (p<0.05). It can be concluded that pFF supplementation in the donor cell culture medium positively affects cell death, cell cycle and quality of the cloned blastocyst.

A miniature pinscher and two Maltese dogs were present with dyspnea, and radiography and computed tomography (CT) were performed. All dogs were diagnosed with giant bullous emphysema of the massive, hyperexpanded, and hypoattenuating bulla causing contralateral mediastinal shift. Giant bullous emphysema, the rarest form of bullous lung disease, is defined as a bulla that fills more than 30% of the hemithorax, and multi-detector CT scanning could provide the useful information to confirm a diagnosis of giant bullous emphysema in older dogs. The radiographic and computed tomographic features for giant bullous emphysema were described.

A mass was detected in the oral cavity from a 18-year-old female miniature poodle dog. Grossly, the mass was soft to hard, red to purple, and $1.5{\times}1.5{\times}1cm$ in size. Histopathologically, the mass was composed of hyperplastic gingival epithelium, well-vascularized stroma, closely packed pleomorphic cells, and numerous giant cells with multiple nuclei and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells were positive for alkaline phosphatase and cytokeratin 7, but not positive for CD68 unlike in human. The mass was diagnosed to peripheral giant cell granuloma in oral cavity through typical clinical and histopathological features.

This study proposes a process to design and analyze stage costumes by design elements for the costumes of the Korean traditional music cantata 'I Will Rise'. This study states fundamental references to make costumes of similar performances in the future and develop costume designs based on the format of a play. The findings are as follows. First, the costume production process of 'I Will Rise' is conducted in the order of directing intentions and script analysis, costume design, miniature production, costume production, costume modification, run, and post-production. Second, an overall Korean silhouette is expressed through the creation of costumes based on the construction of Korean traditional clothing (hanbok); however, from a detail perspective, a modernistic sensitivity is expressed through the use of modern elements (wing shoulders attached to shoulders, narrow ribbons made in a string form, and wristlets and belts) not found in hanboks. Third, tie-dying is applied to the costume colors of each character to highlight the traditional and unique feeling of dye and symbolic colors that effectively represent each role used to communicate the storyline and character emotions to the audience. Fourth, materials for costumes are cotton and linen (frequently used to create the texture of a Hanbok) as the costume of each character is emphasized to the use of additional and detailed materials such as artificial leather, hemp, and silk.
